I would suggest you would not own so many instruments if you were not in fact better than 'kinda ok' at them, possibly approaching Good

I was learning piano for like 2 years and could play a few things, self taught so progress was slow but I was having fun. I picked up a cheap guitar on a whim around 4 months ago and it's completely consumed all of my practice time. I can't put the thing down. I never have a day where I feel like it's hard to motivate my practice with the guitar. Piano became a very structured practice thing for me with scales, technique, finger exercises etc dominating my practice time. I do enjoy that stuff to a certain extent but I feel like the piano community as a whole really pushes that stuff on learners very hard. I forgot that the point of all this stuff was to play music I liked and have fun doing it. Anyway, I guess what I'm saying here is don't forget to have fun. That's the whole drat point of this stuff isn't it?

I had actual lessons in trumpet and cornet and was in orchestras and bands in school, university and a time after, then life and work got in the way and it sort of tailed off and I haven't played properly in years. I started teaching myself piano as a teenager and have worked on that in bursts over time (the plague years and lockdowns were very good for this). I can pick out a tune fairly well and do the right-hand stuff while making something simple that fits for the left. I do wonder about getting lessons but now after 20 years I wonder how many awful (and unbreakable) habit I've got that would make a piano teacher scream. I was in a 'band' with some local colleagues and friends playing keyboard parts - we only did open mic nights and stuff. I have an old Victorian reed organ which is fun to wheeze out a tune on now and then (it's especially good for Christmas carols). I used to be able to play simple hymn tunes etc. on a pipe organ (making use of friends and contacts in the music department at uni to play on the one there) but I bet all the coordination and muscle memory has gone now.

Piano Guitar Bass Drums I own two pianos, a telecaster, a strat, stingray bass, and a cheapo acoustic guitar. I also own a small collection of synths and drum machines, including a Juno-106, a DX7, and a 909.

I've been known to play the skin flute from time to time, I just like percussion instruments I guess.

I used to play out, a lot, but I never left the day job. Now, I entertain just myself with my noodling - and push my sons to play. They're great, they play out, one has a record contract. It's been a very fulfilling hobby that, on occasion, paid for itself. I think I actually enjoy playing all by myself MORE than playing in bands, at this point. Somewhere along the road of my music career, I developed stage fright, overthinking, paranoid - just got to the point I hated playing in front of people. The joy I get from just mucking around now is still worth it. Get in there and learn some instrument - it can be super rewarding, even if just to improve your self-confidence at learning something new.

I play guitar (trashy) and bass (classy). But lately I've been writing electronic music and playing Ableton like it's own instrument is like, literally, endless fun. Here's my humble soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/nonnonchalant

I own a bunch of instruments, but can't play them very well (some at all). I wish I had more will to practice. I also get nervous about disturbing my neighbors.

I've been trying to get better at two gdae instruments since corona hell world started. First Irish bouzouki, then a four-stringed domra previously used in the local Russian orchestra. I find they're a bit easier to suss out on my own as opposed to guitar, probably because they have fewer strings. I'm used to classical guitar. I have a dizi that I never play and a few ocarinas that I dabble at. I'm going to buy a mandocello whenever I get the cash for it. I was allowed to try a hundred year old Gibson, and it was amazing. It's incredibly rare to find one here in Norway. Oh, and I sometimes play outside as a means to turn up the random encounter chance by a few orders of magnitude. A cigarette here, an expensive bottle of beer there. I'm not great, but it's a good way to ease social barriers. Drunk people are easy to please (myself included).

The Wicked ZOGA posted:how far did you get? Far enough to be able to play basic standards and hymns from memory. My biggest problem w/ that instrument was that the instructor was a gospel musician by trade and didn't want to teach anything secular, so anything I found compelling he refused to teach me. My technique is still decent, I can tune one by ear and play some basic scales still.

I play the clitoris, but the fingerings can be pretty tricky

I used to play the saxophone but quit band in 10th grade and ended up donating my sax to a school music program years later. The band teacher was an rear end in a top hat who demanded that band take precedence over everything else in your life. He was heavily pressuring me to play the Sousaphone in marching, field show, and concert band because all the previous students that played it had graduated.I refused and he threatened to kick me out of jazz band, so I quit. He told me I was a disappointment and let everyone down. gently caress that guy.

Piano. Studied it in college and had a grand old time. Saxophone. Love this horn, but never got as proficient with it as I am piano. I think the piano is super learnable and generally encourage folks to check it out.
